BBC Two presents a season of four programmes that looks at the social, historical and psychological causes of violence.

"Against the backdrop of the recent shootings in America and Germany and with the 10th anniversary of the Columbine Massacre approaching, The Violence Season looks at what makes an individual violent and explores whether we all have the capacity for extreme violence".

The first documentary is from Horizon on violence and has an example of another attempt to replicate Milgram's Obedience to Authority study.
